I stumbled upon this comic one day just by logging in and seeing it on the recently uploaded comics if I recall correctly. And I'm happy I did. I didn't know many comics/web comics involved centaurs as the main cast. But I feel it's slowly becoming more of a popular thing, if not maybe it was already and I'm just late to the party! It's a new take that felt natural and fun as I read along this quite original and whimsical comic series. This web comic is a team effort by both Cubist and DarkwingDude.

The writing is done nicely, somewhat short chapters that are easy to keep up with and I feel stay on track with whatever that chapter's topic covers. "Off-Centaured" touches on both realistic issues with a large population of humans now becoming different kinds of centaurs! Quite suddenly overnight! This causes some people who haven't changed to either become friend or foe of those who have physically changed but still are the same on the inside. They try to carry on and live their lives as best as they can with these new bodies. I don't want to spoil anything, but this as the backbone of the series is brilliant. I feel as if something went down like this today the public would have all sorts of similar views - be it hate, curiosity or support. Our two main characters are Cubist and DWD but throughout the comic DarkwindDude brings back side characters and their ever changing lives. As things are always changing and evolving in this new world.
And the comedy is wonderful throughout! Just about every chapter will had me laughing in some way or another because of weird situations we find out main cast of characters in. In the third panel alone we get the line "Suddenly horse butts"! The writing is enough to keep you guessing, laughing and engaged.

From the start of this comic, I could tell that Cubist has put some serious time and care into their style, the layout of the pages and the shading/textures of everything. It almost feels like watercolor paintings with how soft and smooth the illustrations. The facial expressions are probably one of my favorite things while reading along. They capture the feelings end emotions perfectly. But also I can't get enough of the creative designs for all the different centaurs! Cubist has given us readers a good variety to enjoy throughout the series.

I still have a bit to catch up on, but there are plenty to read starting out! With a bit over 16 chapters so far! But I highly recommend this strangely fun web comic. It's worth checking out and trying out something new, take my word on it. "Off-centaured" is a series that'll make you think, laugh and be curious of the world around us.
